Labour seem to think that being arrogant and dismissive is what will win over a public that believe them to be arrogant and dismissive.

Shabana Mahmood’s decision to tell every person applying for asylum from Monday that their status is temporary could undermine the refugee convention, the Law Society has said

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular.
This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better.
And we're making hope normal again - together.

Allowing British bases to be used in an illegal war of aggression is a catastrophic and historic mistake.
Britain has been dragged into another war because our Prime Minister would rather appease Donald Trump than stand up for international law.
Labour is backing a tyrant who is triggering a global crisis through illegal acts of aggression at the same time that it makes cruel, vindictive and morally disgusting changes to the framework through which people seek protection in the UK. Never again can there be a progressive case for Labour.

My first time speaking with residents as a mum yesterday (with little one on board)!
Had some really interesting conversations on the doorstep and enjoyed meeting Cllrs James, Martin and Liam from @southwarkgp.bsky.social, @lambethgreenparty.bsky.social and @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social.
So in the week that they lost a safe seat to @greenparty.org.uk the brains trust @labouruk.bsky.social decide to reintroduce hostile environments for asylum seekers. Not to mention backing a war which may create a need to offer refuge to those caught up in it. 😳

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war
Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump?
Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars.
The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,
I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.
Thanks,
Zack Polanski
Indeed! 😄
#GreenWin #hope #MulticulturalSociety
Huge congratulations to MP Hannah Spencer on winning the By-election in Gorton and Denton. Many brilliant Bromley volunteers went up to Manchester to play their part in her victory, next we'll win in Bromley ✊

No surprises, surely?
Candidate is arrogant charmless TV presenter & hates everything: lose.
Campaign is entitled technocracy + smearing left-liberalism: lose.
Candidate is local & can make OK speech about how a good job should lead to a good life: win.
Normal politics is trying to be born.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

Graphic from Bradford District Green Party with a green overlay background image of Bradford City Hall reflected in water. At the top, white text reads “BRADFORD DISTRICT GREEN PARTY.” In the centre is a large smartphone-style message bubble that says, “Ok, I’ve just done it. I’ve joined the Green party.” Below the message is a red heart reaction and a blurred profile picture, with a small reply icon and the time “08:06.” At the bottom, the Green Party logo appears with the text “Green Party Bradford District,” and small print promoter information along the footer.
It's happening.
People all over the country are joining the Green Party.
Our time is now.

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK.
The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party.
Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.
Hannah Spencer victory speech

"We have shown that we don't have to accept being turned against each other. We can demand better without hating each other"
So just as a final word on this by election before polls close:
No matter what the result, Gorton and Denton is supposed to be in a category of safe seat that should essentially render it uncompetitive. The fact that it isn't is a damning indictment of Labour's time in office.
Zack Polanski: "We're not an Island of Strangers, we're an Island of Neighbours." ... So true! 🌻

Green campaign poster featuring a woman standing outdoors in front of red-brick buildings, smiling with her hands clasped. She is wearing a pink high-neck top, a dark checked blazer, and black trousers. Green abstract shapes frame the image with white text reading: “Introducing! Hannah Spencer – The new Green MP for Gorton & Denton.” The Green Party logo and promoter details appear at the bottom.
Being up at 4am with a newborn isn’t always this entertaining.
Well done Hannah 💚
Five campaign volunteers stand together on a street holding leaflets. Two people at the front wear green rosettes, one in a bright green coat and another in a grey coat, while three others stand behind them smiling. A brick building and parked cars are visible in the background, and one volunteer holds up campaign materials toward the camera.
It was great being back out on the road leafleting for @bromleygreens.bsky.social in Crystal Palace & Anerley for the first time since my son was born (and he was able to join me for it too!)

So as a later in life mum, it’s still a struggle.
If we really want to encourage people to start families, maybe we need to fix our parental leave laws.
I doubt Reform UK want that though do they?
I’ve now experienced first hand how little support there is for working parents, especially if you’re self employed.
If you’re employed dads receive 2 weeks paternity leave which is ridiculous in itself but if you’re self employed, nothing.
As for self-employed mums, I’ve only been entitled to
